For doctors

A doctor is a GP providing primary medical care or a medical specialist. They can work in the public or private sector. If a doctor decides to start a private business, they are subject to the legal requirements for providing healthcare services.

For example, the forms of business are limited by law: GPs can be either self-employed or run a company. Specialist out-of-hospital care can be provided by a self-employed person, a company or a foundation.

The choice of the legal form of a business needs to be considered and its specific characteristics taken into account. The most popular type of company is a private limited company (OÜ). There are important differences between a self-employed person and a private limited company, which we will explain to you and help you make the right choice.

In medical accounting, the types of income and expenditure must be recorded in sufficient detail to facilitate future statistical reporting. For example, on a healthcare financial statement, income and expenditure must be reported by type.

In addition, a healthcare business has to handle various contracts. These include employment contracts and collective agreements, as well as authorisation contracts under the law of obligations. With the help of their partners, CHK’s specialists will help you draft contracts that meet all the legal requirements.

Doctors can also choose to work abroad. Finland and Sweden are popular foreign markets for doctors qualified in Estonia. CHK advises healthcare professionals moving to Finland or Sweden on everything from registration to accounting.

CHK provides doctors with professional accounting and consultancy services and modern business software. We offer financial accounting through the CHK online application Trigon, through which doctors can prepare and send sales invoices and view financial statements. Our payroll accounting software is Merit Palk.
